HiveGC+

We tailor flexible resourcing solutions designed for your organisation's specific needs.

HiveGC+ is our innovative approach to solve our clients' resourcing issues efficiently and effectively

Whether you need a full-time legal team, temporary support during staff absences, or specialised legal advice, Hive GC+ integrates seamlessly into your business. Unlike traditional resourcing models that simply add an extra person, we provide dedicated legal experts as your points of contact, ensuring you receive consistent, high-quality legal support. From handling general commercial matters to offering specialised counsel, we're flexible and adapt to your needs, providing the same level of expert advice that an in-house legal team would, without the need for extensive outsourcing.

With a fixed-fee structure, Hive GC+ helps us efficiently solve resourcing challenges within your business and embed ourselves within your team, offering you the full depth and expertise of Hive Legal in a way that evolves with your needs.

  • You have access to our team’s range of experience and specialist expertise rather than being constrained to one individual.
    ‍
  • You can scale us up or down as your team member’s availability changes without having to commit to a 12-month replacement.
    ‍
  • Our knowledge doesn’t disappear at the end of the role — you can continue to access us as needed.
How it works
  • We work with you to scope the type of work you need and design the best way to assist you. It could be a fixed fee menu where we agree prices for the most common legal requests, or it could be a fixed monthly fee — whatever works for you.
    ‍

    ‍

    ‍
  • You can scale our assistance up or down as you need from time to time.
How it works

Why you'll love it
  • You have access to a sense check or sounding board as you encounter key issues in your business.
    ‍
  • You don't necessarily need written advice or documents — simply having an expert to talk things through with is exceptionally valuable.
    ‍
